I notice sometimes when my messages come through there are missing letters
on some words. I have found that the oatmeal I spilled on the keyboard was
unacceptable. Especially on the x. (yeah, excuses, excuses for misspelling.)

When we visited our son yesterday he had a Diet Pepsi waiting for me that
he’d ordered with his meal. That is especially heart warming because Mom would
not have *that stuff* sitting around her house — as though I never would be
there. However, I was with her when she bought beer for my stepfather’s friend
*in case* HE visited. I was feeling sorry for myself one day (maybe 20 years
ago) about going to Mom’s and she never had something for me to drink. My
nextdoor neighbor kept stuff at her house (long trip for me to take my own going
next door <g
either and son wasn’t sure.
GET MY POINT? He didn’t have something for his dad yesterday, but ordered
that can for me. Actually, he ordered Diet Coke (can’t stand the Pepsi stuff)
but they didn’t send it. I really felt honored and considered. That makes me cry
too. He even told me about one of his roommates who has diabetes. Dau avoids it
at great cost.
BTW when you hear someone say they had/have a (any relative) who had

Care to hear me vent? Having a baaad day (it’s 12:22 p.m. right now.
My bi-weekly EPO shot was today and I’ve been dreading it (have them 4 years
now) because this diff place I go now HURTS!!! Besides, I see neph next wk. so
had to have a fasting lab test. Told the tech last time I’d be in at 9:00 a.m.
(usually 1:30 p.m.). I’ve been advised by another group to make sure the
strength is diff than what they’ve been giving me that’s why the pain. I called
this a.m. and asked. She said yes, I’m holding the bottle. I said I’d be right
in. I had a lab sheet but couldn’t find it. Remembered she kept it last time.
When I got there she said I have you down for 1:30 p.m. I said I can’t fast
until then. I asked if she had the lab sheet. She said I have the standing
order (1x mo.). I said this one’s diff. She said she can’t w/o dr’s. sheet. Then
she came with her needle and tourniquet. I said, wait what are you going to do?
She said draw blood. I asked for what — tell me. She finally recited the list
from the lab sheet in Q. I told her that wasn’t hard to do. She stuck the
needle in me and couldn’t get any blood. Had to call the lab. No problem there.

Hi Iris, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I hope your day and dinner will
be a wonderful one. I read you are still sore. I am glad you are doing
better. I dread the Holidays because of the food I don’t normally eat but
love to at the holiday. You be careful and have a nice sun shiney day!!
Hugs Shelia :O)
I, for one, love it and find it challenging. If this list were like another
one that I am on with NO humor appreciated, then it would be like the
others. If everything’s the same, then where’s the difference? It wouldn’t
make any difference which list to go to — no variety. On that other list as
soon as I post something funny I get a *Welcome* and reminder to stay on the
topic of the purpose for the group.

Marius,
Your English puts many of us who speaks it as a Mother Tongue to shame. That
li’l diatribe of explanation of you consort’s eating habits puts many of us
to shame. At least kills our appetites. We keep a dictionary by our TV and
if we hear a word new or pronounced differently than we do/know, we look it
up. We learn a lot that way.
